In
Part
Four of this series, we looked at the profitability of using a $110-Inside to
$22-Inside regression.That equates to a 5:1
regression-ratio.Part One
of this series explains in detail what regression-ratios are, and how we use them.

Simply
stated:

ØThe
steeper the regression-ratio is; the higher, earlier and more often a net-profit
will be secured.

ØThe
shallower the regression-ratio is; the less frequent and lower our net-profit will
be.

The
Risk of Using Too LOW of a Regression Ratio

If
we try to go cheap with our betting by not putting out a large enough initial bet (or by
flat-betting) when we have the best chance of actually capitalizing on our
Precision-Shooting abilities; then its little wonder why so many accomplished
players run into difficulty in exploiting even their most obvious skills.

ØIf
our bets are too low or the regressions that we use are too shallow in ratio; then we'll
almost always restrain and unnecessarily retard our advantage-play earnings.

ØMost
players look at a lower-value/lower-ratio starting-level for their regression as a way of
reducing volatility; but in fact, it just makes it harder (or almost impossible) for them
to break through to profit on a sustainable basis.

ØThe
lower and closer your Sevens-to-Rolls Ratio (SRR) is to random; the less time (as measured
by number of point-cycle rolls) you will have in which to capitalize on your
dice-influencing skill.Therefore you have to
bet on the fattest part of your roll-duration expectancy curve.

Lets take a look at various ISR steepness-ratios to see how they affect our average
profit per hand.

As
you can see on the chart above; combining a regression that is too shallow (2:1) with a
modest SRR, can result in a negative result even though you will often hit your first
paying Inside-Number bet and still be able to make the regression.What puts this SRR-7 shooter into negative
territory is the fact that he wont hit enough paying Inside-Numbers often
enough at the regressed $22-Inside mark to make the bet become net-positive.

On
the other hand, you can see that if this same SRR-7 shooter simply increases (steepens)
the ISR regression-ratio to 3:1, the very same skill-set produces a modest profit.

ØAs
your SRR-rate improves and the steepness of your regression increases; so does your return
on investment.

For
example, in the chart below, a SRR-8 dice-influencer produces a profit even when employing
a shallow 2:1 regression ratio.Obviously
though, his bet-flexibility and overall income rises dramatically as his regression-ratio
increases.

It
is important to note that each SRR-level forces a different bet-reduction trigger point.While the SRR-7 shooter has to immediately regress
his large initial bet after just one hit; the SRR-8 dice-influencer can reasonably keep
them up at their initial large size for the first three point-cycle rolls before having to
steeply regress them.

ØObviously,
the more well-endowed your session bankroll is and the more comfortable you are in using
higher-ratio steeper-regression wagers; the more you will be able to take full advantage
of your dice-influencing skills.

Take a look at the added flexibility that a SRR-9 dice-influencer enjoys.
